5 Reasons to FADE your Tattoo Before doing a Tattoo Cover

1. The Tattoo Cover Art will not need to be as large. Frequently the artist must nearly double the size of the inked area in order to incorporate or integrate the old art into the new art.

2. The Tattoo cover will not need to be as dark. Artists typically lay down very dark and very heavy ink to provide adequate cover. Over time this heavy ink blurs and gets muddied up with the underlying ink leading to great customer dissatisfaction.

3. Better chance the underlying color/design will not bleed/show through the cover art.

4. More choices and possibilities for content for your new tattoo if old one is faded

5. You will save Time and Money for removal if you decide you do not like the cover. With all that ink layering, you will need more than twice as many laser treatments to remove.

Before Getting a Tattoo

1. Reputable Facility. Get a referral from someone you know whose tattoo art you admire. Also, inquire as to the specific artist. Talent can vary greatly even at any given facility.

2. Basic Black. The easiest color for a laser to remove is black if you ever decide to get rid of your tattoo. The next easiest grouping of colors that respond quickly to laser removal are red, orange, and purple. Greens and blues, especially turquoise represent the greatest challenge to laser removal and can be quite costly to remove.

3. Size & Location. Keep it small to start, no larger than your fist. Avoid the hands and neck for anyone.  And women report regretting the shoulders and ankles.

4. Choose Timeless Content. What’s in style this year may not be next year. The name or logo of a band or the name of a lover are often regretted.

5. Communicate. Clearly state your objectives to your artist and have them repeat it back to you to be sure they understand. Never say, “Use your judgment, whatever you think.”

• Let the natural shape of your brow be your guide.
• You want to balance your brow color with your hair color.
• To minimize curvature on a round face, direct the outer third of the brow to the top of the ear.
• If the face is square, direct the brow to the middle of the ear. This cuts the distance between the upper and lower face in half, helping with balance.
• If the face is long, keep the brow almost straight across, directing it above the ear.
• The oval face needs no help in giving the illusion of balance, but you may accentuate the harmony of this shape by directing the brow toward the lower lobe.
